The Town of Babylon Industrial Development Agency donated more than 800 Narcan kits to 11 fire and EMS departments.
Narcan reverses the effects of an opioid overdose.
Fire officials say the lifesaving donation was desperately needed.
The price of Narcan has tripled over the last several years and puts stress on fire department budgets.
Officials say the opioid epidemic could outpace supplies.
